Mick Foley Wants To Referee Jon Moxley vs Atsushi Onita
Atsushi Onita is bringing back FMW. His FMWE promotion is scheduled to run its first event on July 4th. Onita mentioned in an interview recently that he would love to wrestle a match with AEW‘s Jon Moxley. Mick Foley has since spoken up to say that he would like to referee that match if it takes place.
If an Onita vs Moxley match were to happen, I’d like to be the referee.
I always felt the “American Onita” label given to me by the Japanese press and fans was a huge honor.

During Onita’s interview with FanByte, he was told that Moxley now uses “Wild Thing” as his ring music, just as Onita had. This led to Onita saying he would like to wrestle Moxley.
“Jon Moxley uses my theme music?” Said Onita “Thank you, Moxley. I think if he has a spirit of JADO (evil ways), we might stand in the same ring some day. It would be interesting, wouldn’t it?”
Onita would also reveal what he hopes to accomplish with his new promotion.
“I want to show American fans my original explosion match. I sometimes feel like I have to. American deathmatch fans have been disappointed twice, first with the explosion deathmatch CZW held in 2017, and secondly AEW’s. At the time of the CZW show, maybe because of costs, CZW said ‘we don’t need Japanese engineers, don’t worry, leave it to us,’ and I believed them”
